It didn't say anything about getting two Sour in the Rye with membership. The Sour in the Rye was an allocation that RS and HS members were given the exclusive ability to buy for some amount of time. On Monday, we no longer have the guarantee of having Sour in the Rye held onto for us to buy. That's all.

yea thats exactly how i understood it too

are we speaking about the HS email cuz in my RS email it made no mention of peach SITR

We wanted to let you know that the Society Guarantee to purchase Sour in the Rye will end on Monday morning, however, there is plenty more of this beer in our inventory, so no need to worry if you need an extra few days before you purchase.

This Monday, TheBrueryStore.com will be back to full function and you will again have access to our entire inventory of beer including Mélange #3 & Sour In The Rye, with plenty of exclusive releases coming your way.

We are still working out a few kinks in the site, so please bear with us and send us a message if you encounter a problem.

I am not sure why you would be confused. The email said we can buy up to two bottles of GB and we get 2 bottles of SITR with peaches and we have the option to purchase 3 more. What is there to be confused about? Not trying to be a dick, but I really don't understand the confusion.

Each beer will be on sale for ONE WEEK. You must purchase your allotment between Monday and Sunday.

Please also note that they are not yet ready to pick up and/or ship, so please await our announcement to know when you can get your bottles. It should be very soon.

+ Griffon Bruxellois - 6.1% - $20 - 2 bottle limit
We debuted Griffon Bruxellois late in 2012 at a few of our events and it was quite a hit. This dark, sour ale was aged in oak barrels on cherries, giving it an incredible fruit flavor, balanced by the roasted malt and lactic tartness. We must admit, this bottle-conditioned beer didn't turn out quite as carbonated as we were hoping for, but it is still an incredible beer, 100% worthy of being sold, served, shared and enjoyed!

+ Sour in the Rye with Peaches - 7% - $25 -
2 bottles included in membership, 3 additional bottle limit
We've all had the opportunity to try Sour in the Rye, our heavily rye based sour ale with incredible spicy notes and tropical aromas. This is that beer that we've all come to love, but aged with peaches hand picked from a local farm. Hopefully the weather will warm back up, because this one is meant for a beautiful summer day, but we think it's good enough to make a winter day feel warm.

Now I'm bummed, Griffon was awesome at the barrel party. Thought it was going to be released originally as the last 2012 RS beer, then after the mention of bottle conditioning issues, thought it was going to be released as a 2013 RS beer. Double whammy, not even gonna have a chance at it all.

Sorry, I should have added Hoarders to the title, my bad! Not used to there being seperate societies yet!

So, I'm still confused. Is this the supposed 2nd quarter "peach sour blend" release? That's the only thing I can see. If it is, 5 bottles max times at most 200 members = 1000 bottle release I guess? That is, originally I don't think there was supposed to be 3 for purchase?

There are about 293 members in Hoarders total. I'm guessing there is 2000 bottles total so they have some left over for future events. I'm sure it's the second quarter one. I'm stoked for it

Just curious on the source of that number? As the post above says, pretty specific!

Heard it from a very high up bRUEry employee at the barrel aged party last year. They were mildly intoxicated and answered my question about the number or Hoarders members....i was surprised that they divulged the information haha

Damn GB was part of the reason I signed up for RS. Since it was supposed to be an RE beer last year I figured we'd luck out and get some, I figured way wrong : /

Has there been any confirmation that RS isn't getting any for sure? The Bruery isn't always the most clear on emails so I wouldn't bet on it being a HS exclusive yet. After all, SitR with peaches was supposed to be Q2 with no extra for purchase and here we are. Even though the email says "exclusives" it could be just refering to SitR+peaches.

Operating under the assumption that HS is 2x RS, that puts RS at being able to order a single bottle each. If the above HS member and bottle count is accurate, the strict window for HS purchase opens up the possibility of the rest going to RS with a 1 bottle limit and the possibility of someone getting shut out.

Regardless, if there's anything the Bruery has taught me in 2013, it's to be prepared for all sorts of surprises and retcons.

1. Bruery staffing is like going to Wal Mart. Tons of customers, only 3-4 people working, long lines. Three consecutive trips where I've emailed ahead of time, only to wait while they package up my order (rather than being done ahead of time).
2. There is always an error, seemingly in favor of the Bruery (oh yea, you were supposed to have 3 bottles, not the 2 we put in the box).
3. How come they went back to plain crowns instead of the Bruery crowns for Sitr this year?
4. Hoarders Society is funny, but I think we should be called Stonecutters Society. It needs a more secret society tongue in cheek edge to it. Illuminati Skull & Bones Beer Club was already taken.
